Traditional banks often lack personalized service, and local businesses struggle to find true partnership in financial institutions. Meanwhile, higher education faces scrutiny over relevance and ROI in a world where information is nearly free. Harry Allen helped launch Studio Bank to blend technology with high-touch service, fueled by community investment. At Belmont, he's applying the same entrepreneurial mindset to modernize university operations and embed practical learning experiences, like a one-of-a-kind partnership with Dolly Parton, into academia. In this episode, Harry L. Allen, co-founder of Studio Bank and now CFO at Belmont University, unpacks the bold vision behind launching a community-first bank in a city dominated by financial giants. He shares the leadership lessons that shaped his journey, how to lead through crisis, and why mentorship is the key to filling today's leadership vacuum. Key Takeaways Leveraging both financial and social capital creates a unique, community-first banking model. High-tech doesn't mean low-touch, Studio Bank fused innovation with personal relationships. Leadership means showing up, especially during crisis. Universities must shift from being information hubs to delivering real-world experience.

What goes into crafting an effective Python script? How do you organize your code, manage dependencies with PEP 723, and handle command-line arguments for the best results? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder’s Weekly articles and projects. We dig into a recent Real Python article about how to structure your Python scripts. It includes advice for adding inline script metadata as defined in PEP 723, which helps tools automatically create an environment and install dependencies when the script is run. The piece also covers choosing appropriate data structures, improving runtime feedback, and making your code more maintainable with constants and entry points. We discuss a collection of software trends happening behind the scenes of the constant LLM news. The piece starts with local-first software, prioritizing processing and storing private data on personal devices rather than relying on the cloud. The other trends include common themes and tools we’ve shared over the past few years, including WebAssembly, SQLite’s renaissance, and improvements to cross-platform mobile development. We also share several other articles and projects from the Python community, including a news roundup, the state of free-threaded Python, tips for improving Django management commands, advice for time management as a manager, a data science-focused IDE, and a project to check for multiple patterns in a single string.

Rodrigo Girão Serrão: Python Training, itertools, and Idioms 1:02:49

לפני 29 ימים1:02:49

1:02:49

Once you’ve learned the vocabulary and syntax of the Python language, how do you progress into learning the right combinations to put into your code? How can Python’s built-in itertools library enhance your skills? This week on the show, we speak with Rodrigo Girão Serrão about teaching Python through his blog and his passion for the itertools library. We discuss Rodrigo’s different approaches to writing on his blog. He likes to document smaller concepts about Python and building code in his “Today I Learned” series. He’s also been collecting advice about the best way to use core Python features in another series called “Pydon’ts.” We cover his recent PyCon US tutorial about the built-in itertools module. The functions contained in the module create iterators for efficient looping. We discuss the categories of tools inside the collection and ways to simplify your code. We also explore the concept of vocabulary versus idioms in writing. Idioms are a group of words that hold a symbolic meaning that goes beyond the literal meaning of the individual words. We dig into how that applies to learning Python and building a personal collection of programming idioms. This episode is sponsored by AMD.

What are the ways you can manage multithreaded code in Python? What synchronization techniques are available within Python’s threading module? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder’s Weekly articles and projects. Christopher discusses his recent Real Python video course about thread safety. The course provides a quick overview of race conditions and how to use locks in your code. It then goes on to share a collection of additional synchronization primitives to make your code thread-safe. We dig into a tutorial by Leodanis Pozo Ramos about managing Python projects with uv. The tutorial shows you how to quickly initialize a project, build the directory structure, add dependencies, and publish your package while practicing the commands inside uv. We also share several other articles and projects from the Python community, including a news roundup, unraveling t-strings, what’s new in pip 25.1, an SVG-first plotting library, and a data modeling tool built on top of Polars and Pydantic. Course Spotlight: Thread Safety in Python: Locks and Other Techniques In this video course, you’ll learn about the issues that can occur when your code is run in a multithreaded environment. Then you’ll explore the various synchronization primitives available in Python’s threading module, such as locks, which help you make your code safe.

It acts as a kind of package manager, installing tools as necessary from their Git repositories. This post explains how to use it with uv . Python’s New t-strings – Using f-strings is a readable way of building output, but there are situations where they can’t be used because the contents need to be verified before being string-ified. The new t-strings, coming in 3.14, are a solution to this problem. Unraveling t-strings – PEP 750 introduced t-strings for Python 3.14. These are a template string mechanism similar to f-strings. Although they are in 3.14.0b1, there isn’t any documentation yet, so this post explains what they are how they can be used. What’s New in Pip 25.1 – pip 25.1 introduces support for Dependency Groups (PEP 735), resumable downloads, and an installation progress bar. Dependency resolution has also received a raft of bugfixes and improvements.

1:31:46

What is the best way to record the Python dependencies for the reproducibility of your projects? What advantages will lock files provide for those projects? This week on the show, we welcome back Python Core Developer Brett Cannon to discuss his journey to bring PEP 751 and the pylock.toml file format to the community. Brett has been working on a way to move beyond the requirements.txt file for over six years. He was on the show previously to discuss his work on PEP 665, which was rejected. He decided to continue to push forward, authoring PEP 751 last year, which was accepted at the end of March this year. The PEP calls for a new file format to record your project’s dependencies. The goal was to have a standardized immutable record for what should be installed to reproduce your project in a virtual environment. He discusses working with other packaging projects and the compromises involved in creating a standard. Course Spotlight: Using the Python subprocess Module In this video course, you’ll learn how to use Python’s subprocess module to run and control external programs from your scripts.

Manage Projects With pyproject.toml & Explore Polars LazyFrames 48:43

לפני 16 weeks48:43

48:43

How can you simplify the management of your Python projects with one file? What are the advantages of using LazyFrames in Polars? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder’s Weekly articles and projects. We share a recent Real Python tutorial by Ian Currie about managing projects with a pyproject.toml file. This file simplifies Python project configuration by unifying package setup, managing dependencies, and streamlining builds. Christopher continues his exploration of the Polars library by covering another Real Python tutorial about working with LazyFrames. He describes how LazyFrames don’t contain data but instead store a set of instructions known as a query plan. We also share several other articles and projects from the Python community, including a news roundup, building a to-do app with Python and Kivy, working with DuckDB directly instead of using a DataFrame library, a discussion on fiction and nonfiction books about computer science, a terminal visual effects engine, and a full-stack platform for interactive data apps. Course Spotlight: Everyday Project Packaging With pyproject.toml In this Code Conversation video course, you’ll learn how to package your everyday projects with pyproject.toml . Playing on the same team as the import system means you can call your project from anywhere, ensure consistent imports, and have one file that’ll work for many build systems.

Eric Matthes: Maybe Don't Start With Unit Tests 1:10:48

לפני 17 weeks1:10:48

1:10:48

Should you always start testing your code with unit tests? When does it make sense to look at integration or end-to-end testing as a first step instead? This week on the show, we speak with previous guest Eric Matthes about where to begin testing your code. Eric is the author of the popular book Python Crash Course . Early in the development of the book, he decided to introduce testing and added a chapter on testing code with pytest. Over the past couple of years, Eric has continued to consider when and where to test a project’s code. He thinks there are hazards to always starting with unit tests. The type of project and its audience should determine what kind of testing to employ initially. We discuss using pytest to develop integration tests on multiple types of projects. We also explore fixtures and what goes into building a test suite. Eric also shares criteria for when and where it makes sense to add unit tests to a project. Course Spotlight: Using Python’s assert to Debug and Test Your Code In this course, you’ll learn how to use Python’s assert statement to document, debug, and test code in development. You’ll learn how assertions might be disabled in production code, so you shouldn’t use them to validate data. You’ll also learn about a few common pitfalls of assertions in Python. Topics: 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:01:47 – Submitting talks to conferences 00:04:10 – Don’t start with unit tests! 00:07:35 – How did you start with testing? 00:11:30 – Example of a project needing tests 00:14:54 – Defining types of tests 00:16:44 – Integration vs end-to-end tests 00:19:09 – When should you build tests? 00:22:13 – Trade offs of integration vs unit tests 00:24:05 – Why is there push back on this idea? 00:27:36 – Video Course Spotlight 00:29:09 – Using pytest 00:33:24 – Transcripts project example 00:37:03 – py-image-border project 00:40:29 – Criteria for when you should write unit tests 00:48:51 – How to practice writing tests 00:50:28 – Building an integration test and pytest fixtures 00:55:05 – What’s in the test folder? 00:56:31 – Idea for a PyCon tutorial on implementing tests 00:57:29 – Other pytest advice and parametrization 01:01:13 – Caveats to not starting with unit tests 01:02:30 – pytest documentation and other advice 01:05:23 – How to reach Eric online 01:06:47 – What are you excited about in the world of Python? 01:08:23 – What do you want to learn next? 01:09:48 – What conferences are you attending? 01:10:06 – Thanks and goodbye Show Links: Don’t start with unit tests - by Eric Matthes Sleep Better By Writing Python Tests with Eric Matthes - YouTube Episode #163: Python Crash Course & Learning Enough to Start Creating git-sim: Visually simulate Git operations in your own repos with a single terminal command Manim Community django-simple-deploy Learn the grand staff! py-image-border: Add a border to any image pytest Documentation - Get Started About fixtures - pytest documentation Parametrizing tests - pytest documentation uv: Unified Python packaging Prophet 5 Compact Poly Synth - Sequential PyCon US 2025 EuroPython 2025 - July 14th-20th 2025 - Prague, Czech Republic & Remote Python Crash Course, 3rd Edition - No Starch Press Mostly Python - Eric Matthes Level up your Python skills with our expert-led courses: Everyday Project Packaging With pyproject.toml Testing Your Code With pytest Using Python's assert to Debug and Test Your Code Support the podcast & join our community of Pythonistas…
